homes are designed and constructed to protect the environment Building Biology
homes are designed and constructed to protect the environment and to go beyond
to protect the occupants What is a healthy home? Learn about the elements
in a home that create a healthy environment and those that don't focusing on the
Building Biology Principles. This lecture will focus on problem identification
and alternatives. Healthy homes are all about choices - from the site
selection, to building, to furnishings, to appliances, to cleaning products -
healthy choices at each step can help improve the quality of the indoor environment.
Throughout the series, we will discuss temperature, humidity, furniture placement,
electromagnetic radiation, dust particulates, ventilation, and building materials.
This series is suitable for new construction, remodeling, redecorating, and folks
who just want a healthier home with the focus on economical, often easy, steps
for improvement.
